Utilization of English Textbook for Developing Factually Observational Learning Exposure and Reflective Synthesizing Skills of Bilingual Students in Private Schools of Karachi
Journal Title: Academy of Education and Social Sciences Review - Year 2025, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Utilization of English textbooks for developing Factually Observational Learning Exposure (FOLE) and Reflective Synthesizing Skills (RSS) of bilingual students remains a challenging pursuit for English teachers in Pakistan. This quantitative research measures the views of 600 ELTs from both genders through a questionnaire bearing 45 items related to pragmatics utilized in activities related to FOLE & RSS in local English textbooks, learning outcomes and hurdles in the second language acquisition process of bi-lingual students while considering affective factors. Results have shown that English teachers agreed that FOLE & RSS-related activities were neither provided in locally prescribed English textbooks nor utilized by the English teachers to develop bilingual students' integrated language skills. This study recommends that reading must be harnessed with speaking, writing and listening skills in local English textbooks for better exposure to FOLE and promoting the RSS. Finally, the pragmatics in English language textbooks should be aligned with the activities related to FOLE & RSS in locally prescribed English textbooks from the pedagogical perspective.
